I recently purchased a V30 H931 and was hoping to use it on Verizon.
I followed the guides and Frankensteined it to US998 and unlocked the bootloader. Had no problems with that.
MMS, calls and data work just fine.
SMS both sends and receives, but the phone never thinks it sends it successfully. It gets stuck on sending and eventually shows a "failure" prompting me to retry.
Tried rebooting, multiple messages app, removing SIM (still works fine in my old phone) and even flashed the stock Verizon rom. Never once has it realized that the SMS is sent successfully.
Was I wrong in my research that I could fully convert the H931 to work on Verizon? Does anyone have ideas or has anyone fixed this problem?
If I need to return the phone, is it possible to lock the bootloader and get it back to stock H931?
Thanks for any help.

This has been discussed in other threads, with solutions. I'll try to find them
What app are you using?
Also, have your tried flashing the VS996 20D stock firmware rom in TWRP?

Yes I've flashed this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/rom-lg-vs996-20d-rom-t3830564
Still didn't work.
I've tried multiple messages apps including the two that come default with the above rom Meesaging, Verizon Message+ and I have also tried Googles Messages app.
I appreciate your help. Thank you.
Edit: I found this thread with no real solution for OP: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/help/sms-stuck-sending-using-frankenstein-t3823757
I may just have to return the phone and buy a different model. Do you know what the process would be to lock the bootloader and flash stock H931?

After a lot of sleuthing, and some subsequent testing, I found that the default APN settings for MMS messaging is saved in:
\root\data\data\com.android.mms\shared_prefs\com.a ndroid.mms_preferences.xml
Now, there's a lot of other stuff in there, and I didn't feel comfortable changing things around in that file, so I used another program, Shortcut Master Lite, from the XDA forums, to search for those hidden settings.
In ShortcutMaster Lite, I clicked the hamburger (3-dot) button choose App Explorer.
I scrolled down to and clicked on Messaging (com.android.mms)
I scrolled to the bottom and clicked on MmsSprintSettingActivity
I clicked on Launch
There I was able to see what the default MMS settings are. In my case, this was still set to the Sprint URL, https:/mms.sprintpcs.com, and some fancy Gateway and Port.
I changed these values to match up with Verizon's MMS settings, so I set the URL to http://mms.vtext.com/servelets/mms, and then left Gateway and Set Port blank. After saving this, the phone IMMEDIATELY rebooted on it's own. After a brief heart attack, the phone rebooted and .... whaBAM! Both Messaging and Messenger work fine now!
I posted instructions in the Guide section as well. That can be found here.
Thanks for your assistance, everybody.

I just installed Cyanogenmod 10 on my Spring Motorola Photon 4G, and after I find that I have no MMS which after research seems to be very common. I'm seeing that most people use go sms pro as a work around to this. I installed it and still no MMS. I also see that people did editing to some of the options under the advanced menu which involves changing the I want to say the address of what MMS uses to send which also look to be carrier specific. Since I don't know what these are called I've found it difficult to find. If anyone could offer some assistance in me getting my MMS working again that'd be great.

EDIT: tried the SIII method, then and added the APN's manually. Then the new version came out, so I reflashed and did a factory reset. That seemed to do the trick!
I know there are threads out with this same issue. But my issue is I allready had it working with a apn that required a user name and password. I rooted my galaxy and when I restarted my phone it said my galaxy loading screen it said custom on the bottom on the loading screen where it says samsung galaxy. anyways I went on to delete some bloatware and I somehow crashed google play. so I could not get into the store. I tried to reset the phone to factory specs but that does not fix my issues since it only loads the apk that I did not delete google play did not work.
So I downloaded a file from here for my i527 phone and flashed it with odin and got it back up and running. Re rooted it cant get the custom loading screen back up but I cant remember the apn I used that worked with my phone to get text messages to send and receive pictures. I know I had to enter a username and password. I know the password was password if anyone knows these straight talk to att apn please foward it to me.

After rooting did you install adblock by chance... That blocked my att phone from sending or receiving mms. Another thing is rooting itself shouldn't have altered your apn in any way, so if it changed something is wrong.since rooting does nothing more than granting you root level access, nothing at all should have changed except your knox warranty status after flashing recovery.

I'm trying to use a T-Mobile sim in a VS987 and I constantly get the following error message in my notifications: "Sim card is not from verizon wireless"
To make matters worse, every single time I open up a web browser the entire screen gets blurred and I'm hit with the error message: "No internet connection - please contact customer service at (800) 922-0204."
My mobile data works, and having to see that message every single time I open a web browser is very frustrating. I getting help from a few Verizon reps and the last one was such an asshole. When I didn't want to come back to Verizon he was pretty much like "there's nothing I can do", was incredibly aloof, and rude-toned.
Does anyone know how to get around this? All help would be appreciated. I just purchased this phone little over a month ago and I regret it so much that I cannot return it.

If you followed that it should work. You may need to do a factory reset if nothing else is working. I had a Verizon g5 before on t-mobiles network without any issues other than it telling me it's not a Verizon sim but data worked and I used browser without any message. I returned it though and ended up getting the t mobile version for root and custom ROMs.
Since upgrading to Nougat 7.0 on my RS988, I'm unable to send multimedia text messages. My Carrier is AT&T and normal texts messages send and receive just fine, but as soon as I attach picture (even a small one like a 256KB jpeg) it just sits there with the stock LG Messaging app indicating "Sending". WTH is broken, Marshmallow worked just fine, but not after this upgrade.
Thx.

Hey guys, I followed the Frankenstein guide to turn my AT&T V30 to a US998 to use on Verizon. All went fine and I'm using my Verizon SIM, however when I send text messages (using Google Messages or Textra), they get stuck at "sending." Some of them will actually go through to the recipient but it will still say "sending" and ultimately warn me that the message wasn't sent.
I can receive SMS messages just fine and can actually send and receive MMS just fine.
I've tried toggling airplane mode and rebooting my phone.
Any tips?
Yeah over in the Verizon thread was a suggestion to change file size limits on Textra in settings. That seemed to work. Something about "legacy" and file size.
It seems to be a Verizon/Textra problem.
In my searching I saw mention for Textra and MMS, but I'm having trouble finding info for problems sending SMS. Do you happen to have the link to that thread/post?
Thanks!

Yes, you would flash via LGUP with DL PARTITION method, but leave off recovery partition partitions so you keep TWRP.
I haven't installed customer recovery yet, but I actually would like to. Should I do that before flashing the Verizon image?
Also would I find the Verizon Oreo file somewhere in the V30 ROMs forum?

Yes, because with US998 you have fastboot flash commands. So if you unlock bootloader and install TWRP and root, THEN you can flash to Verizon VS996 and keep TWRP. You'll lose the fastboot flash commands, but you won't need them anymore -- since you have TWRP.
Just be sure to untick the recovery partitions when DL PARTITION flashing the KDZ.
But first bootloader unlock and root.
Makes great sense, thanks.
Do you know if there's a Verizon Oreo ROM somewhere around XDA? I found this, but I think it may be Nougat: https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-v30/development/vs996-verizon-v30-10c-kdz-download-afh-t3700356

I'm running it. All vz services work, including vvm.
That worked just fine, but unfortunately the SMS problem still persists! So I can send MMS messages fine, but when I send SMS, it will show as "Sending" until it gives up and shows it as failed message, although sometimes the messages are received. It does this with both the US998 ROM and the Verizon ROM. :-\
Any ideas what I could check or try?

Shoey,
About a month ago I decided to switch to the Android Messages (formerly Google Messages) app as I preferred the look of it more. So far I've had NO issues with it, and they even too (like Pulse) just started offering a desktop messaging option as well, which I use daily and love! Very easy to set up. Just make sure to have the app fully installed on your phone first before setting up the desktop option.

I'm on Verizon using Textra with a converted LS998 to US998. When I use the VS996 firmware I have no issue with SMS and MMS. When I'm on US998 firmware SMS is fine but MMS borks. You have to manually configure your APN settings. See screen shots. You can also try toggling airplane mode.
Yeah, I've tried Textra, Pulse, Android Messages.
If I use the Verizon messaging app and turn on WiFi calling then it seems to work, but as soon as I'm off of WiFi the SMS messages won't send. Very confusing!
I wonder if there's something that could have gotten corrupted or needs to be cleared or flashed again. I've done airplane mode, restarted, factory reset, flashed the Verizon KDZ via LGUP.
In case it's any clue, I've also noticed my cell signal will just drop suddenly, even in spots with good coverage. I'll go from a solid 4G connection to an X or bars with no 4G, and the phone will say "Emergency Calls Only."
Tried all the usual stuff of restarting, factory reset, re-flashing, etc.
Would love any suggestions!

Thanks ChazzMatt. I just tried that, selecting PARTITION DL in LGUP, then selecting only modem when flashing VS99620d_01_0614_ARB00.kdz.
The text message sending problem still persists, but I'll see if the intermittent signal thing is solved.
I don't know a lot about how this works, but is there any way certain necessary Verizon bands or frequencies could be disabled/not active?
Still trying to solve this, so if anybody has any suggestions please toss them out here!
No solution yet, but I did notice that the issue goes away after making a phone call.
After a while, I completely lost all service. After restarting the entire process (starting back from Frankenstein) it is all working again.
